Erotic Paranormal Romance

Washington, D.C. - the Present

Edana is a succubus, a demon that thrives on the sexual energy of others.  She gets her victims aroused and as soon as their sexual energies surface, she sucks away their souls and sends them to her boss, the Devil himself.   Her newest assignment is to use her sexual charms to trap the soul of Eli Moss, a Nephilim: the offspring of the union between an angel and a human.  Eli Moss has the power to banish demons into a never ending void of nothingness, a fate worse than death, which is why he has been targeted by the Devil. 

Edana sets up a supposedly chance meeting with Eli and finds him to be entirely unwilling to compromise.  Even her most seductive outfit and pose doesn’t generate one iota of lust from him.  Before Edana can plan her next move, Eli uses his powers to bind her to him.  As a result, he gains complete control over Edana's body and free will.  Whatever he wants, she must provide.  Eli takes her to a remote cabin he shares with his brother, Dal.  Eli and Dal are immune to the charms Edana has spent centuries perfecting.  Which sucks for Edana because she must turn to human food, which satisfies her temporarily, but is a poor substitute for sexual energy.  Edana is not a demon that easily admits defeat, and despite being bound by Eli, she still tries to seduce him, and having Dal join them in bed would be a sexy bonus!

WICKED HOT is just as the name implies, wickedly hot.  Edana's survival is based on stirring up men's passions and she is confused when she fails to stir up Eli.  As she contemplates the best way to get past his defenses, Edana unknowingly allows him to get past hers.  Before long, she craves Eli- mind, body and soul.  She yearns to please him in every way imaginable and believe me, Eli thinks of a few creative ways for her to accomplish this task.  

Eli is magical being who is destined to protect the world from evil.  In the past month alone, he has defeated many of the devil's best warriors that were sent to kill him.  Of course, there's a big difference in the warriors sent to kill him and the sexy succubus that shows up at his doorstep. Dal, Eli's brother, is the teacher.  His job is to prepare young witches to battle demons.  Neither are human and both have inhuman sexual desires and stamina.  They also have a definite purpose for keeping Edana around.

WICKED HOT is told from Edana's point of view and is a great sex fest.  It is definitely a sexy story that I would recommend to readers looking for a book that is sure to please and arouse.  What will happen to Edana if she fails to fulfill the devil's assignment?  Will she stay with Eli and Dal?  If so, how will a relationship ever work out between them?  If not, when or how will Eli banish her?  Read WICKED HOT to find out!
